Andy, congratulations on your new radio. I would operate it as
you receive it for a while while deciding what upgrades you
might need.
The 400 Hz filter is popular for CW, so I would see if it is
satisfactory for your operating needs. The 100W upgrade is easy
to install, but do you need an internal tuner? The new synth is
a definite improvement, but if you aren't working in crowded
conditions (DX pileups or contests), the old one is not bad.
If you are thinking about some particular upgrade, ask here and
you will get a lot of advice, sometimes contradictory.

Years ago I built a nice K2/100 which I still have and love but
I saw a K3/10 for sale this morning on QRZ and bought it. It
should get here Tuesday. It’s serial number is 3521 and the
seller said it had been back to Elecraft in the last couple
years for updates. not sure what that means exactly. It has the
400 hz cw filter and an SSB filter but that’s all I’m sure
of. I’m 95% CW here and not a hard core contester. There seem
to be all sorts of little tweaks and major upgrades and stuff
that needs other things installed to work etc. My head is
spinning from reading the options. I am certainly getting the
100 watt module and I guess I should get the new synth module
if it doesn’t have it. Any advice? This will be by far the
best and most modern radio I have owned. Thanks in advance.
